“Nice location, good wine, quaint and cozy rooms...”

Reviewed 19 August 2008

Marsannay is certainly a picturesque little town, and our quaint little room in Jean-Charles's B&B certainly fit the atmosphere. It was nicely decorated and comfortable.

While this B&B doesn't have a lot of extras, (no phone, hair dryer, or little bottles of shampoo in the bathroom) it is right down town. Jean-Charles was happy to answer our questions and even made some phone calls help us find some bikes to rent. We really enjoyed the personal wine tasting he gave us and our fellow guests. The wines were very good, and it was a unique experience.

The breakfast was continental: yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee, and French bread. You'll want to make sure you have time during the day to tour the wineries because after about 5pm the town shuts down. We arrived on a Monday afternoon and there was only one place to have dinner. . . a hotel/pizza place. The dinner was horrible and over-priced.

Overall, we would recommend this B&B to anyone interested in spending a little time in this quiet town or wanting a more peaceful stay just outside the busy city of Dijon.

Liked — Wine tasting, comfortable room, reasonably priced
Disliked — Lack of restaurants nearby

“A nice B&B on the Route Des Grands Crus”

Reviewed 22 January 2008

We stayed with Charles and Brigittre when we visited our son who is learning French and working in a vineyard in Burgundy. The B&B is on the "Route des Grands Crus". Charles welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home right away. The room was clean and simply decorated. The bed was large (US King size!) and comfortable. The bathroom was not very large but very clean. Charles gave us a nice "French Style" continental breakfast i.e. coffee, juice, croissant, fruits and yogurt. We did not have a chance to have a tasting in the wine cellar. It will be for our next visit. We can only recommend this B&B for the traveler searching for a welcoming affordable, clean, and relaxing place near Dijon.
